Welcome to DNA Policy - Net
DNA and the Criminal Justice System is a Harvard-based project to create a forum for the exchange of views and information among those interested in this area. Its aim is to assist these individuals and institutions in managing the challenges that the use of DNA in the criminal justice system pose. This project is co-ordinated by Prof. David Lazer through the The Program on Networked Governance (Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) and is funded by the NSF Grant No. 0131923.
